Finding us, our location in beautiful Annapolis Royal NS
Halifax, Nova Scotia
The Mi’kmaq name for Halifax is Kjipuktuk, pronounced: “che-book-took”. The name means “Great Harbour” in the Mi’kmaq language.
Residents and visitors to Halifax are sure to enjoy a stroll along the harbours shoreline, visiting one of the many shops featuring curated and artisan works, gourmet foods, world-class restaurants and seasonal festivals, concerts and performances.
Situated on the south shoreline of the province, Halifax also has some wonderful inland parks, like Point Pleasant Park, with 39km of walking and cycling trails, and self guided cultural walking tours. And Halifax’s own Shakespeare by the Sea theatre company mounts productions in the Summer.
For those who prefer a night out Halifax is also home to several theatres and clubs, each offering unique and entertaining options. For example, you may want to pair an evening of Symphony Nova Scotia’s latest production with a memorable meal at any one of her wonderful restaurants for an evening experience that you remember for a very long time.
Every year Halifax hosts a wide variety of festivals including; the largest Canada Day celebration east of Ottawa, the Atlantic Film Festival, the Halifax International Busker Festival, Greekfest, Atlantic Jazz Festival, the Multicultural Festival, Natal Day, and The annual Nocturne Festival.
Periodic Tall Ship events sail into the harbour where visitors can board the ships and learn about her proud sailing histories.
Halifax Pride is the largest LGBT event in Atlantic Canada and one of the largest in the country.
Many of Halifax’s festivals and annual events have become world-renowned over the past several years.
Halifax is also home to many performance venues, The Music Room, the Neptune Theatre, and Rebecca Cohn Auditorium at Dalhousie University.
Or take a short ferry ride across the harbour to enjoy a production by the Eastern Front Theatre at Alderney Landing in Downtown Dartmouth.
Searidge Sponsored SMART Recovery® Meetings
SMART Recovery® is an abstinence-based, not-for-profit organization with a sensible self-help program for people having problems with drinking and using. It includes many ideas and techniques to help you change your life from one that is self-destructive and unhappy to one that is constructive and satisfying.
SMART Recovery® is not a spin-off of Alcoholics Anonymous. No one will label you an “alcoholic”, an “addict” or “diseased” nor “powerless”, and if you do not believe in a religion or spirituality, that’s fine, too. We teach common sense self-help procedures designed to empower you to abstain and to develop a more positive lifestyle. When you succeed at following our approach, you may graduate from the program, or you may stay around to help others.
Searidge Alcohol Rehab offers a variety of aftercare programs to our alumni to help ensure their sobriety is sustained. SMART Recovery® group meetings have proven to be incredibly beneficial to our Searidge alumni. SMART Recovery® meetings give our graduate residents the tools and support they require to remain sober.
All SMART Recovery® meetings are held on Zoom please go to our SMART Recovery® Nova Scotia website at https://www.smartrecoveryns.com to learn more or sign up to attend a meeting.
